Summary:

The school is part of the Hayward Unified School District, which is ranked 1235 out of 1568 districts in California and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Burbank Elementary faces significant challenges, including a notable increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 6.4% in 2017-2018 to 36.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the Hayward Unified and California state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Burbank Elementary's proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 33.8% compared to the district's 31.29% and the state's 47.04%. In Mathematics, Burbank's proficiency rate was 24.94% compared to the district's 19.2% and the state's 35.54%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities.

Burbank Elementary's challenges are further compounded by its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 78.09% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 24.2 to 25.2 in recent years, which is higher than the nearby Schafer Park Elementary and Harder Elementary schools in the Hayward Unified district. Interestingly, the data also shows that nearby charter schools, such as Knowledge Enlightens You (KEY) Academy and Hayward Collegiate Charter, generally outperform Burbank Elementary and the Hayward Unified district in academic proficiency rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
